A quick story don't remember where I heard it and some details are no doubt not right.
WW I: Marine unit moves up to the trenches to relieve a French unit. While officers of the French and Marine units are conversing in the CP a Marine Sargent runs into the tent and announces "Sir! We can see the Germans from the line!" The French Officer replies that yes there is a relief area visible behind the German lines. However it is out of rifle range and Command won't authorize artillery because there are never enough enemy visible. The Marine officer gathers up his Sargent and the Frenchman and heads towards the line. Upon arrival he directs his riflemen to commence firing at the Germans visible in their relief area. An astonished Frenchman and German soldiers note the following. They are in range, at least if the riflemen are Marines!
Really love this OOB! I think it is the first time that I haven't shuffled units around insanely aside from adding a few Hummers to move some Snipers and Mortars around!
